Let’s review what you have learned
- Doing or saying things over and over again (repetitive behaviour) is common in people with dementia.
- Repetition can be very stressful to deal with.
- In case of repetition, try to focus on comforting the person you care for.
- Try to identify what comes before the repetitive behaviour and what may increase it. Then try to change it. Try to identify how you respond and change that also.
- Realize there may be worse, but also better moments.
- Remind yourself that repetitive behaviours are part of the disease.
- Take a deep breath and think about the best ways to respond that will be the least distressing to you and the person living with dementia if they do or say things over and over again.
